Calling all casual viewers and cinephiles! Come talk about excellent movies at Fremont’s film club, You Had Me at Film Club. Each month, we’ll discuss classic and contemporary films while enjoying sweet treats, provided by the Library. No deep film knowledge required, just a love for good movies and good company. Please join us! 

This month’s movie: Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Plot: France, 1760. Marianne is commissioned to paint the wedding portrait of Héloïse, a young woman who has just left the convent. Because she is a reluctant bride-to-be, Marianne arrives under the guise of companionship, observing Héloïse by day and secretly painting her by firelight at night. As the two women orbit one another, intimacy and attraction grow.

Pick up your copy of the DVD at the Help Desk on the first floor! If you would like to watch it online, chat with a librarian at any of the Help Desks to find where it's currently streaming.
